José Fajardo Nelson
José Fajardo Nelson positions himself as a centre-forward who attacks space, makes late runs behind the back line, and looks to pin centre-backs with opportunistic bursts. He scores from quick, angled finishes. He moved from Independiente where he was the 2018 Clausura top scorer, helping them win their first league title. He then featured for Universidad Católica del Ecuador, delivering consistent goals across seasons. A turning point came as he broke into the Panama national team setup and helped the side reach the 2023 Gold Cup final. In his club role, José Fajardo Nelson presses high and checks runs, keeping the line honest. He attacks the back post and finishes moves, linking play with one-touch layoffs. On the pitch he keeps defensive lines stretched and delivers decisive moments in the box.
